Information you choose to provide

We organize business, location, ownership, employee training and document information that you enter. In development demo mode, answers are saved in this browser’s local storage and files are saved in browser IndexedDB. Do not use demo mode for sensitive personal information.

Account access and documents

Signed-in accounts use server sessions and business membership checks. Production document storage must be configured as a private S3 bucket. Document access is granted with short-lived links after account authorization. Google sign-in requires configured provider credentials.

Lawyer contact requests

When contact submissions are enabled, the name, email, optional phone and business name, topic, message and consent time are stored for VA Tobacco administrators to review and respond to your request. Requests are not automatically forwarded to a lawyer. The form asks you to leave out confidential records and personal identification numbers. In preview mode, submission is disabled and nothing is sent.

Control over your information

You can replace or delete uploaded documents and edit saved answers. Resetting demo records restores the sample workspace, but does not delete all browser file storage. You may clear this site’s browser storage in browser settings. Production account deletion, retention periods and a support contact must be configured before commercial launch.

Payments and external services

Payments are disabled. Official Virginia ABC links take you to a separate service with its own privacy practices. No advertising or tracking integrations are included in this application.
